The dog days of summer are here, but your garden isn’t slowing down! In this episode, we break down what to sow, harvest, and plan in July—from beans and garlic to fall crops and shade cloth strategies.

We share how we’re prepping beds for late summer planting, troubleshooting pest invasions, and tackling fertilizer dilemmas (RIP to all the bone meal–raided dahlias). You’ll hear about:

🌱 Succession planting bush beans and vining beans (over 170 ft of beans!) 🌿 Harvesting garlic and shallots and prepping for fall sowing 💦 Drip irrigation setups and shade cloth tips for beating the heat 🍅 Second plantings of tomatoes, eggplants, and peppers 🎃 Dreaming up pumpkin and corn patches for fall harvests 🌸 Flowers you can still sow in July—snapdragons, foxglove, scabiosa, and more

Whether you’re planning a late-season bounty or fighting the midsummer burnout, we’ve got you covered.

Let’s go get dirty—let’s go grow, baby
